LEVEL 4 -- OPTIMUM CARE (A)

Patients at this level are similar to people described in Level 3. They choose to have comprehensive examination and treatment planning for health and repair to achieve a future based on choice not chance. Unlike Level 3, these patients are ready to start treatment. These patients are very concerned about treating the causes of dental disease and not simply the effects or symptoms. They want all treatment provided to be completed in the most lasting fashion possible.

It is not uncommon for people to begin at one level and progress to a higher level over time. All Insurance Plans, PPO Plans, and Capitation / HMO Plans focus on URGENT CARE (Crisis Care) and REMEDIAL CARE, both of which in our judgment are not preventive in nature. They treat symptoms but rarely is the effort of the INSURANCE SYSTEM to treat the problem in an optimum manner.

Please be comfortable in asking us any questions that come to mind. We want you to share your thoughts and ideas with us in an open, comfortable manner. When communication and concern for each other's welfare is high, successful results are more likely to occur.

Yours for better health,
